Nov. 8 -- DVD--

American Horror Story. Season 1Synopsis: American Horror Story revolves around The Harmons', a family of three who moved from Boston to Los Angeles as a means to reconcile past anguish.

Archer The Complete season two Floyd CountySynopsis: Archer is an animated half-hour comedy set at ISIS, an international spy agency, where global crises are merely opportunities for its highly trained employees to confuse, undermine, betray and royally screw each other.

The Best Exotic Marigold HotelAn award-winning, all-star cast, led by Judi Dench,
Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, and Maggie Smith, lights up this "buoyant
comedy laced with genuine emotion." (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) When
seven cash-strapped seniors decide to "outsource" their retirement to
a resort in far-off India, friendship and romance blossom in the most
unexpected ways. Smart, life-affirming and genuinely charming, THE BEST EXOTIC
MARIGOLD HOTEL is a "true classic that reminds us that it's never too late
to find love and a fresh beginning at any age." (Rex Reed, The New York
Observer)

The show unavoidably makes
use of previous sitcom combinations (the odd couple, the unfulfilled
love-interest mismatch) but even if one manages to discern them they are used
in such a fresh manner that all that is left is great entertainment !

It's a season filled with unique medical mysteries and
shocking twists and turns. The team pulls together when a 6-year-old child is
kidnapped, a lottery winner's luck takes an unfortunate turn, and one of
Philadelphia's most despised citizens turns up dead, leaving an entire city of
suspects. Meanwhile, Megan must also navigate the complicated new dynamic with
her ex-husband and boss, Kate, while continuing to re-build her once-strained
relationship with Lacey. Relive every astonishing case from Season Two.

Dark shadowsFrom the wonderfully warped imagination of Tim Burton comes
the story of Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp), a dashing aristocrat who is turned
into a vampire by a jilted lover and entombed for two centuries. Emerging from
his coffin into the world of 1972, he returns to his once-majestic home, only
to the few dysfunctional descendants of the Collins family who remain.
Determined to return his family name to its former glory, Barnabas is thwarted
at every turn by his former lover - the seductive witch Angelique (Eva Green) -
in this wildly imaginative" (Sam Hallenbeck, NBC-TV adventure).The Flight of the PhoenixRobert
Aldrich's tense, 1965 drama about a plane crash in the Sahara is a unique
psychological study of men in desperate circumstances. In
this somewhat revisionist view of classic heroism, every character within the
mixed lot is stretched to his limit, and individual efforts to brave the
elements and hostile nomads are duly punished. What is left is collective will
and ingenuity. One could call this an allegory for transcending Cold War
madness, perhaps, but Aldrich (Kiss Me Deadly) makes this such a gritty,
immediate experience that you can feel the desert sand in your teeth. Superb
performances by James Stewart, Richard Attenborough, Hardy Krüger, Peter Finch,
and the rest. --Tom Keogh

For Greater Glory theTrue Story of CristiadaA truly inspiring and deeply moving account of the events and characters struggling for Faith and Freedom in the little known persecution and Christero's War in 1920's Mexico. Superp cast and excellent production values. A must for people who believe that the real "Super Heroes" are not found in comic books but in the Grace, Faith and Courage of ordinary human beings who respond to the assault on their God Given Rights, and live and die for values that transend their mundane needs and desires. - amazon-
